I’m someone who's experienced difficult-to-diagnose symptoms. Among other challenges, I developed fibromyalgia-type arthritis in my late teens after living in Southeast Asia, am overcoming nerve pain in my hands and feet that resulted in muscle weakness and sleeplessness, and after moving into an old house, contracted mould toxicity or CIRS. At one time I was also told I had depression, for years got migraines twice weekly, and at various times experienced gynaecological and hormonal problems.

Is this you too?

I understand what it’s like to suffer the pain and exhaustion from overlooked, misdiagnosed, undiagnosable or stigmatised conditions. I’ve spent a lot of time and thousands of dollars seeking answers, trying unhelpful drugs and having unnecessary medical procedures and surgeries. I also know how terrifying it is to feel emotionally not yourself.

At one point, I wondered if I was ever going to be able to work full time again because I felt so awful and drained. Can you relate?

I’ve turned this around, in part because I couldn’t just take a pill, which is never usually a long-term cure anyway. Instead I sought out the root causes of my symptoms, spending a lot of time researching and understanding chronic illness and mood disorders, including the impact of diet, toxins and lifestyle.

My pathway has involved overcoming antibiotic-resistant parasites, leaky gut, SIBO (twice), severe sensitivities, CIRS, adrenal exhaustion and negative emotions. Becoming a Yoga Teacher, then Health Coach, and more recently a Functional Nutritional Therapist (looking at the foundational way food affects the body at a cellular level) with lab testing training, have been instinctive steps in my journey. I believe I would be much sicker if I hadn't done this. Recently, I’ve discovered in have a form of Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) called Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HDS) and I’ve been working to switch off that gene.

I know first hand the fear and frustration you might be feeling about the way ongoing illness can impact and change your life. I understand the process of grief when you have to change your diet and lifestyle, and what it takes to switch your mindset from one of deprivation to one of gaining health. I get how we can stop believing in our body and self.
